He noted that as a service organization, NAMA under his administration was determined to train and equip staff with the latest technology and skills required to keep them up to speed with current trends in Air Navigation Service Provision, stressing that the agency would be glad to tap into the expertise of the NIPR in order to come up with new innovations that will make it more professional in meeting the needs of airspace users.
